there was a magnificant sunrise this morning. i awoke in a clean apartment because procrastination took over last night as i cleaned like every last inch of the place. the aries and i went jogging. the aries is a very interesting girl. first off she's beautiful and she sort of dances in a constant ferris wheel of men who come in and out of her life. well the aries is throwing this big thankgiving dinner and she's inviting about 20 people --her parties are always these mixture of international students, i don't think there are any other americans there besides me --mostly french, iranian, spanish, finnish, turkish-- seriously now that i'm thinking about it, i am the only american --and i think that's cool. it's nice to know that i can still find the international community in the states. anyways. both rocket scientists are coming. pfff.

the jog was good though. i'm going to take a break from smoking and start working out for a while. i think i'll be able to keep my head clearer during this stressful paper writing time...and smoking will just make me want to be social.

so this will probably be the last post for a while....who knows...maybe i will actually post...but i don't see myself having even a half an hour of time for anything else but my studies for the next 2 and half weeks. i have to seriously buckel down now. today i'm reading the communist manifest from marx. i have to cause it's on the reading list...i feel all cool with it on the coffee table.

this week the news on the floor is concerning the some girl in the germanics dept who went to italy for an exchange and ended up murdering her roommate. wierd. she stabbed her in the neck after her boyfriend raped the girl that they killed. very strange and horrible. i just can't imagine the kind of state that you are in that you would do that...like actually kill someone --another international student---during your exchange---

okay -enough of the depressing stuff and bizarr.

so...my fate is waiting for me. the page is blank, there is a blinking curser waiting for me to construct the second draft of my MA paper. i'll have to produce three pages a day to get that one out of the way first.

hope you all are having fun where ever in the world you are and taking advantage of the fall. its the best season really.

ps. drink pumpkin flavored latte's.
